National Conference Provincial President Mr Devender Singh Rana today exhorted party district presidents of the Jammu Province to work as ‘eyes and ears’ in the larger interest of the people for seeking redressal to their problems, which are innumerable and have accumulated manifold in the wake of extra-ordinary and unprecedented situation unfolded by unfortunate global pandemic.
In a two-hour interaction with district presidents through video conferencing, the Provincial President said the COVID-19 has completely driven normal life out of gear, resulting in a challenging situation for every segment of society, irrespective of age, gender and economic status. However, the poorer are suffering the most, which perhaps need best of the attention of both, the administration as also the society. He said this is perhaps the time to demonstrate love, compassion and camaraderie, essence of every religion, by shouldering the onerous responsibility of making lives of those around easier in these difficult situations.
Those who participated in the video conferencing included district presidents Khalid Najeeb Suhrawardy, Tanveer Ahmed Kitchloo, Babu Jagjeevan Lal, Sajjad Shaheen, Bhushan Uppal, Romy Khajuria , Mohinder Gupta, Sunil Verma, Ajit Kumar, Shafayat Khan, Dr Shamshad Shan, Som Nath Khajuria, Dharamveer Singh Jamwal, Naresh Bittu and S. Surinder Singh Bunty.
Mr Rana invoked the historic role of National Conference in most testing times since its inception and hoped the functionaries will rise to the occasion by showing the same spirit in projecting problems of the people at designated forums through whatever mode of communication available, and of course by maintaining the mandatory protocol of social distancing strictly. This is all the more important in the absence of representative leadership, he said, adding that the workers and functionaries at grass roots level will fill the vacuum and knock every door ensure problems solved.
